Answer
Beryllium Copper (typically Alloy 25) is selected for applications requiring non-magnetic properties and high electrical conductivity. It is frequently used in medical imaging (MRI) equipment and sensitive electronic sensors where ferrous materials would interfere with signals. CuBe can be heat-treated to reach tensile strengths comparable to alloy steels (up to $190$ ksi). Furthermore, it provides excellent corrosion resistance in seawater and is 'non-sparking', making it suitable for hazardous environments in the mining and explosives industries.
